Dean i called Ksports They will be rebuilding them under warranty , even though i told Ksports i did a rally on them  now that's an awesome warranty!
Group-S $475 for porterfield pads, shoes and Steel Braided lines. good deal? okay? any place else to check? |
For the 1.8, yes. If you can get a decent long block for under 2K with all the timing and any other extras on it, you are way ahead of a rebuild. Remember if you rebuild, cost of full gasket kit, oil/water pumps, timing belts, idlers, etc...
Sweet deal on rebuild!!! you should still make sure you know the maintenance procedures. Those bushings last way longer if cleaned and regreased regularly.
Brake stuff sounds high... Google shopping, amazon, ebay...
Looks like only off the shelf high performance pads/shoes are Porterfield R4 or R4S. A super quick without part numbers search shows the former are $130-160, later $70-80 per end. lines are about $100 for both ends. Occasionally Porterfield will give better prices directly to racers. Call and ask. Ramble off every car club and sanctioning body you can think of that you are associated with and ask for stickers...
